FTX Exchange, the popular cryptocurrency exchange run by Sam Bankman-Fried, has listed Coinbase. Traders can now purchase a futures contract for CBSE ahead of the company’s highly-anticipated IPO. 

FTX Brings Coinbase to the Market 

FTX has listed Coinbase. 

The cryptocurrency exchange, which specializes in derivatives trading, has listed a futures contract for CBSE. It’s designed to represent stocks for the company ahead of its rumored Initial Public Offering. 

The contracts track Coinbase’s market cap divided by 250 million. The contracts are priced at $240 at the time of writing, which projects its market valuation at $60 billion. The contracts will roll over into fractional stock tokens that mirror the stock price at the end of the company’s first public trading day. 

If Coinbase doesn’t go public before June 1, 2022, the stocks will expire at a cash price of $32. Margin trading of up to 5x leverage is also available. 

It’s expected that Coinbase could be readying for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) shortly. Last week, the company announced that it had filed a Form S-1 to the SEC, a requirement for all public companies in the U.S. preparing to list shares on any exchange. 

The news caught the attention of the whole cryptocurrency industry. To date, no cryptocurrency company has gone public. Goldman Sachs will lead the IPO.  

FTX Launching Stocks 

The Coinbase listing isn’t the first of its kind. 

Earlier this month, the exchange listed Airbnb in a similar format the day before the company began trading on Nasdaq. ABNB was first listed at $60, but trading opened at $146 in the IPO, putting FTX frontrunners in significant profit.

In October, Facebook, Netflix, Tesla, and Amazon were also made available to trade on the exchange.

DPW Holdings New Hydroelectric Dam Is A Crypto Mining Revolution

Valatie Falls Hydroelectric Dam, New York, is set to see a new life within cryptocurrency mining, after firm DPW Holdings Inc made a bid to purchase the aging dam in March 2018. This will see a new cryptocurrency mining branch open up within DPW Holdings, a brave move considering the falling profitability of cryptocurrency mining as a result of depleting values from currencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin and of course, an increase in the price of energy and mining equipment.
